Hermes Agent v0.11.0 (v2026.4.23)
Release Date: April 23, 2026
Since v0.9.0: 1,556 commits · 761 merged PRs · 1,314 files changed · 224,174 insertions · 29 community contributors (290 including co-authors)
This release also folds in all the highlights deferred from v0.10.0 (which shipped only the Nous Tool Gateway) — so it covers roughly two weeks of work across the whole stack.
✨ Highlights
New Ink-based TUI —
hermes --tuiis now a full React/Ink rewrite of the interactive CLI, with a Python JSON-RPC backend (tui_gateway). Sticky composer, live streaming with OSC-52 clipboard support, stable picker keys, status bar with per-turn stopwatch and git branch,/clearconfirm, light-theme preset, and a subagent spawn observability overlay. ~310 commits toui-tui/+tui_gateway/. (@OutThisLife + Teknium)Transport ABC + Native AWS Bedrock — Format conversion and HTTP transport were extracted from
run_agent.pyinto a pluggableagent/transports/layer.AnthropicTransport,ChatCompletionsTransport,ResponsesApiTransport, andBedrockTransporteach own their own format conversion and API shape. Native AWS Bedrock support via the Converse API ships on top of the new abstraction. (#10549, #13347, #13366, #13430, #13805, #13814 — @kshitijk4poor + Teknium)Five new inference paths — Native NVIDIA NIM (#11774), Arcee AI (#9276), Step Plan (#13893), Google Gemini CLI OAuth (#11270), and Vercel ai-gateway with pricing + dynamic discovery (#13223 — @jerilynzheng). Plus Gemini routed through the native AI Studio API for better performance (#12674).
GPT-5.5 over Codex OAuth — OpenAI's new GPT-5.5 reasoning model is now available through your ChatGPT Codex OAuth, with live model discovery wired into the model picker so new OpenAI releases show up without catalog updates. (#14720)
QQBot — 17th supported platform — Native QQBot adapter via QQ Official API v2, with QR scan-to-configure setup wizard, streaming cursor, emoji reactions, and DM/group policy gating that matches WeCom/Weixin parity. (#9364, #11831)
Plugin surface expanded — Plugins can now register slash commands (
register_command), dispatch tools directly (dispatch_tool), block tool execution from hooks (pre_tool_callcan veto), rewrite tool results (transform_tool_result), transform terminal output (transform_terminal_output), ship image_gen backends, and add custom dashboard tabs. The bundled disk-cleanup plugin is opt-in by default as a reference implementation. (#9377, #10626, #10763, #10951, #12929, #12944, #12972, #13799, #14175)/steer— mid-run agent nudges —/steer <prompt>injects a note that the running agent sees after its next tool call, without interrupting the turn or breaking prompt cache. For when you want to course-correct an agent in-flight. (#12116)Shell hooks — Wire any shell script as a Hermes lifecycle hook (pre_tool_call, post_tool_call, on_session_start, etc.) without writing a Python plugin. (#13296)
Webhook direct-delivery mode — Webhook subscriptions can now forward payloads straight to a platform chat without going through the agent — zero-LLM push notifications for alerting, uptime checks, and event streams. (#12473)
Smarter delegation — Subagents now have an explicit
orchestratorrole that can spawn their own workers, with configurablemax_spawn_depth(default flat). Concurrent sibling subagents share filesystem state through a file-coordination layer so they don't clobber each other's edits. (#13691, #13718)Auxiliary models — configurable UI + main-model-first —
hermes modelhas a dedicated "Configure auxiliary models" screen for per-task overrides (compression, vision, session_search, title_generation).autorouting now defaults to the main model for side tasks across all users (previously aggregator users were silently routed to a cheap provider-side default). (#11891, #11900)Dashboard plugin system + live theme switching — The web dashboard is now extensible. Third-party plugins can add custom tabs, widgets, and views without forking. Paired with a live-switching theme system — themes now control colors, fonts, layout, and density — so users can hot-swap the dashboard look without a reload. Same theming discipline the CLI has, now on the web. (#10951, #10687, #14725)
Dashboard polish — i18n (English + Chinese), react-router sidebar layout, mobile-responsive, Vercel deployment, real per-session API call tracking, and one-click update + gateway restart buttons. (#9228, #9370, #9453, #10686, #13526, #14004 — @austinpickett + @DeployFaith + Teknium)
